Presence is the Prize


I cannot clearly read

the signpost up ahead.
And whether it is red or green
or yellow can’t be seen.
Experience has shown, in time,
I’m given what I need
to navigate my winding road.

And when I’m on a climb,
I lighten up my load
with faith that I’ll succeed.


As life, with dreams, collides,

uncertainty abounds.
Despite the ups and downs, I trust,
to change, I can adjust.
I’m on a roller coaster ride
where joyfulness resides
to counterbalance fear and pain.

When frightened, deep inside,
there isn’t any strain
from outward changing tides.


Each moment signifies

a chance to be at peace.
Acceptance and release of fear
allow me to be HERE.
The NOW is where my power lives;
to act would be unwise
while worry and regret remain.

Of all that Spirit gives
while I am on this plane,
my presence is the prize!
